PAGE 10 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1969 New theater dimensions provided by 'Viet Rock9 by Dave Landls Entertainment Editor Theater at the University of Nebraska takes on new dimensions Tvith the Speech Department's production of ' "Viet Rock" by Megan Ter ry. First, the play is avant-garde in conception and production. Second, all pei formanccs are outside the Temple Building, in the rest of the University com munity. The play espouses no dogma or plot. The author suggested a scenario to actors and then transcribed their improvisa tions. Juxtaposing and editing the material, Terry produced the 1966 topical play. "The impact is just as great now and may well be in thirty years," stated Bernie Clark, one of the four directors of the show.

This ' braintrust style of directing" is new in itself. A hard rock band, a slide show and destruction of -the a u dience-actor relationship contribute to the production. It is hardly traditional theater. Performances are being held at the Hungry Id. 640 N. 16th. on Jan. 9th and 10th at 8 p.m. On Jan. 11th the play will move to the Centennial Room in the Nebraska Union. The time is the same. Admission for all performances is $1. The story is a life cycle of a new recruit. There are 14 ac tors and over one hundred characterizations. . "The result of the continuous role-changing is strong personal involvement with the person rather than the actor's role," according to Miss Varvel. S. llSt L. tvi r ' of JNebriiskii x There are no pi-ops and the . actor's often sit ir the audience . and converse directly with . them. "This isn't musical comedy, but we occasionally sing on key," mused director Clark. Three Centennial College students provide hard rock, blues and even a waltz to aug ment the action. The play combines black humor, anti-war sentiment, hard rock music and an avant garde script.
